The business conducted misleading sales and marketing advertising that one could purchase furniture and pay in monthly payments with zero interest for 18 months. After 12 months, the store's credit issuing partner "********* ****" charged us $597.07 in "deferred interest". When we asked ********* **** about this charge, they informed us the interest free period was actually only 12 months and we would have to pay the deferred interest for that period if not paid in full within 12 months. We had our payment scheduled for 18 months. We intend to dispute the legitimacy and legality of this interest charge which is in violation of the Code of Federal Regulations under 12 CFR Part 1026 due to the failure on the part of Ashley Global Retail, LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Ashely”) and ********* Financial (hereinafter referred to as “********* ****”) to follow the guidelines set forth in 12 CFR Part 1026 which I have outlined in the attached letter that was sent to ********* ****. This letter was mailed twice since July, 2023 via Certified Mail to the business and no answer was ever received.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
The content of my letter focuses on the marketing practices and misrepresentation on the part if Ashley in which they claim an Interest Free finance offer without clearly stating the disclaimer that in fact this is not an interest free but a deferred interest program. Please read the contents of the letter attached to this complaint in its entirety to get a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of the complaint.
The businesss response ignores that side of the complaint and only responds to the 12 vs 18 month period. Even though the marketing promotion claimed 18 month financing.Regards,

July 3, 2023, I purchased a recliner from Ashley furniture based solely on the fact they it was stated by the store salespeople that their furniture was all made in the US in North Carolina. And that because it was being totally handmade upon order, it would take 8 weeks for the delivery. But on 8/26/2023 at around 12 noon when the recliner was delivered, I learned that the recliner was made in Vietnam. When I phoned the store to complain, no one knew what I was talking about, and the manager stated that all or most of their furniture was made in Vietnam, which is not what was stated upon purchase. I want my recliner that I paid over $1200 for replace with a recliner that was made in the US as promised.Business Response

I purchased bedroom set for the master bedroom (including bed, matress, night stand, and dresser) from Regency Furniture (part of Ashley) in Downingtown PA. After they delivered and installed, I noticed that inside the dresse is damaged and there are some minor damages to the night stand (see the attached pictures). I called multiple times and even drove 20 miles and stopped by in pesron to see if it is possible to send a technician for repair or partial refund but nothing happend and they ingnored my request to repair or refund and I was told if I want to return the items I will get refund only for 70% of price I paid. I purchased around $4200 (which was a mistake by the way). I was really disappointed by their customer care/service, when you go to the store 10 staff would try to convince you to make a pourchase, but the moment you pay it is different story. I am submitting this complain to get partial refund. The invoice number is *******.Business Response

The furniture was not reported to have any issues until weeks after it was delivered; the first issue, the mattress, was a comfort issue which was reported beyond the 72-hour reporting window. The second issue was a crack in the dresser which was reported weeks after it was delivered. We should note that breakage issues are not covered under the manufacturing warranty and can only be covered if reported during or immediately after delivery (or at least 72-hours).Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:First of all I did NOT talk about mattress, do NOT try to change the subject of complaint please. Second, when the furniture delivered, I was not living in the house since it is a new construction and we were in the process of moving, but we made a huge mistake and made big purchase from Ashley before moving in. Also, if you look at the damage, it is hidden inside, and I did not find it until a few weeks after having the furniture delivered. I think it is you responsibility to take care of damaged products and this so-called warranty and 72 hours policy that you are referring to is ridiculous and you should revise them. I am not satisfied with the response and customer service from Ashley and will write and publish all of these complaint on ****** and your website to let people know how you deal with the customers.

On August 8th, the Pottstown, PA store delivered a complete bedroom set to a completely empty home. The room it was delivered to had been professionally painted only the night before. The team damaged the stair rail making it unsafe to use, an electrical outlet which needs repair or replacement, and multiple dents and scratches on walls, ceilings, and doors. Chunks of the furniture were found throughout the room of installation and on the stairs. Parts of the electrical switch plate were found on the shelf in the closet and furniture was arranged to hide the damage. I have made calls to the retail location, replied to emails asking to detail the damage, and have been told that Ashley Furniture's corporate offices are unable to assist. The escalation team has not been available to speak with nor is there a manager available to speak with. I am continually told that a manager will be in touch within 3 business days. It has been a week. I have yet to hear about the repairs that needed to be completed last week in order to move my father into his home safely. I have only heard from someone to hear that a "furniture repair company" would be in touch in an additional 3-5 business days.Business Response

We apologize for the inconvenience. The customer service center is aware of the home damage claim and has reached out to the delivery company to discuss resolution options. Someone from the delivery company will be in touch with the customer to discuss the claim.Customer Answer

The issue still remains unresolved.
A technician was sent out and made unacceptable repairs using the wrong color paint, slip-shod work, and has created more costly repairs to bring the work they completed to the original condition.
we were offered $500 for compensation and they would find a licensed and insured contractor to repair their work. We advised that the $500 was not enough and have yet to have been contacted back for when the contractor would be available.

I am rejecting this response because:The amount of compensation does not cover the additional costs incurred to our household OR to cover the insured professionals and supplies needed to correct their repair. Additionally, Ashley Furniture acknowledged and accepted responsibility for the damages by offering a refund of the delivery fee and sending the initial “repair persons” out.
Teo weeks ago, we received another call from their delivery team offering $1000. As discussed, the offer is still not acceptable and we still are waiting for a call back on when a licensed and insured company will be out to fix the damages correctly.

I recently purchased a sofa sectional from Ashley Furniture in Somerville, MA. The sales team initially informed me that the item I wanted was out of stock, but assured me it would arrive at their warehouse on Thursday, June 29th. They promised to call me on Monday or Tuesday of the following week to provide a delivery date. Unfortunately, I did not receive any call, and now I find myself in a difficult situation due to their strict cancellation policy. If I had been given the correct delivery dates from the beginning, I would never have made the purchase. It is disappointing that despite the misleading information, the store wants to charge me a 10% cancellation fee for being beyond their three-day cancellation period. I now have an open credit on my credit report without the sofa to show for it. Moreover, the store is refusing to provide a full refund. I kindly request that the store reconsider and provide a full refund due to the inaccurate information provided and the resulting inconvenience caused. I believe it is only fair given the circumstances. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid any further escalation.Business Response

We apologize for the dissatisfaction with the service, specifically the wait times. Unfortunately, furniture that is not in stock can take several weeks to arrive from the factory once the order is placed. In this case, the furniture was successfully delivered on July 19. We hope this satisfactorily resolves the customer's concern.Initial Complaint

On Jan 6, 2023 we purchased at *********** King Bed with Rails/Roll slats, headboard and ***** King mattress. We purchased with the understanding the items would be in new condition. Delivery of items occurred on January 28th with the individuals whom delivered noting that the side rail and drawers were damaged on delivery. Pictures were taken and Ashley was notified by delivery men and customer (us). New parts were ordered and not received until April 2023. A repairman came June 24th, 2023 to our home to replace damaged side rail and drawer. Upon inspection, repairman from *** *********** named ****, noted the "new" siderail sent was damaged badly. Pictures were taken, emails sent to Ashley furniture and **** assured us we would hear from Ashley furniture with resolution in 3-5 days. Customer sent multiple emails regarding damage and multiple phone calls with Ashley representatives requesting updates, resolution etc. No one has called us and as such, customer (us) called today, 7/7/23 for updates and to escalate the ordering of new piece for damaged bed. Manager "***" refusing to come to phone to discuss case. Spoke only with staff worker ********, twice as issue is not being resolved. Requested Manager call but requests have gone unanswered. Pics of damage and email correspondence will be included. We are seeking full refund for cost of bed due to the negligence of company and poor quality of item received. We purchased with understanding of NEW bed and parts, not Damaged.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
The $110 offered us too little given it is 8 PLUS months since we purchased and paid over $2000 for the king bed. The most recent technicians that arrived with “new” pieces spoke no English at all, huge language barrier and the pieces they brought to replace the damaged pieces we received back in JANUARY were also damaged on arrival! A huge pattern, as the items arrived damaged in January, June and now August. See pics attached taken on Saturday August 12 for the most recent damaged items that were brought to our home. So, no, we are not accepting of what they have done such far as the issues are not resolved in a way that shows the company recognizes the extreme lack of quality and lack of reasonable compensation for customers who paid over $2000 for furniture on Jan. 6, 2023 and as of Monday, August 14, 2023 still do not have pieces that are not damaged. Additionally, customer has made multiple calls to company that have gone unanswered. And, the delivery technicians that arrived this past Saturday also punctured a hole in our wall while carrying the replacement items (which were found to be damaged upon arrival as well - 3rd time this company sent us replacement items that arrived damaged), up to our bedroom. Overall the experience has been awful and as customers we should be receiving a much larger compensation, repair of our wall and we deserve items that aren’t damaged. Every time they send repair techs out, WE have to use paid time off work or change our schedule around to stay home for the four hour window for delivery. We didn’t agree to having to be home for multiple days for attempts at replacing the damaged items. Now, 9 months into this and we have lost all faith in this business and will never do business with Ashley furniture again. We advise others to stay away from this company as well and choose other options when purchasing furniture. You cannot argue that what you are doing for us is reasonable when THREE times your items have come to us damaged. We would have never purchased from your company if we thought we would still have damage to our bed and home almost 9 months past date of purchase. This company is delusional if they truly think how they are handling our issue is suffice. We deserve more and better.

Damaged side rails arrived yet again on third attempt at which Ashley tries to fix our side rails. This is ridiculous. More pics can be provided as needed. These pics are from Saturday, august 12th delivery. Inexcusable that THREE times the company has delivered damaged side rails.

invoice #*********; sale date 02/20/2023 store location: 1025 north west end blvd Quakertown, pa.18951. delivery date: 03/08/2023 (the delivery team was professional, careful and gentle with the delivery) , item no. *** ******** description: ********* - mahogany 2 seat pwr rec sofa, Extended price $1,539.99. After a short period of use, it was observed that the back of one side was misaligned to the other. Upon my investigation, i photographed a broken frame. I initiated a claim with Ashley to which they scheduled and sent a repair man. He investigated and took numerous photographs. He had with him his repair tools to which he stated that this was a broken frame to which he could not fix. It was simply a poor engineered design. He stated that he would submit his report and that the most likely repair would be a replacement from the manufacturer. That was approximately April/May of 2023. I thought Ashley would honor there commitment to good customer care. Since that initial time, I have been getting a delay upon delay of responses. Then I received voice mails of I would owe a fee to get service and it was under supervisor review. Only today (07/03/2023) , after visiting the store and told I would have to call customer service did I get from customer service the information of I would have to pay $150.00 to get service for this broken powered leather couch. Again i requested the manufacturers information since this is a one year manufacturer warranty, the store as well as customer service will not provide it. This piece of furniture has not been abused in spite of Ashley stating so today (07/03/2023). It has been in use for a rather extremely short time under better than normal use. The issue is Ashley will not own up to fixing this poorly designed Couch even if it means Ashley contacting the manufacturer for a replacement of the one powered side since they are removable for moving the piece around. I will be posting Ashley's irresponsibility on social media.Business Response

We apologize for your dissatisfaction with the service. The service center determined that the furniture did not have a manufacturing defect, so it is not covered by the one-year warranty.

I am rejecting this response because:
Photos as well as the technicians statements are that it is due to bad engineering and inferior materials used. What is Ashleys problem to withholding the manufacturers information so I can contact them for there determination and honoring of the warranty; Ashley has no right to make that judgment since Ashley is to greedy of a company that you must buy there warranty but reality is they are just stealing more money from customers. If Ashley wants to stand on there response of customer problem then they will be judged in the public domain.Ashley is a garbage company in regard to customer service and now I can see in the products they sell. ******* and ******** is the store i should have gone to and i will posting that in public domains. ASHLEY DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE IN BUSINESS.
